Little Holidays

Each day can be a holiday
When you cherish simple things,
Discovering the fresh delight
That sharing pleasure brings.

Perhaps a picnic planned with friends,
A concert in the park,
A chat with someone needing you,
A campfire after dark;
The strawberries of summer sun,
A clean, crisp autumn breeze,
A family walk in winter woods,
Spring's music in the trees . . .

The deepest joys of life can come
In many little ways . . .
By savoring and sharing these,
Your time makes holidays.
